Kay Donovan has reinvented herself: she's a star soccer player whose group of gorgeous friends run their private school with effortless popularity and acerbic wit. When Jessica Lane's body is found in the lake, Kay's carefully constructed life begins to topple. The dead girl has left Kay a computer-coded scavenger hunt, which, as it unravels, places Kay herself is in the crosshairs of a murder investigation.

Add a CommentI'm giving this book a big thumbs up! I love, love, LOVE a good murder mystery. This book had so many twists and turns and had me suspecting character after character. I honestly couldn't figure out who the real murderer was, until the final few chapters. So i'm giving this book an A+ for keeping me guessing throughout the entire novel. Although I probably should have known from the very beginning!
The mystery was a little predictable, but it was still a fun and easy read.
An absorbing suspense thriller that touches on bullying, mental illness, terrible mistakes of the past. Nice portrayal of sexual fluidity. And how can we still love someone when they've done something horrible?
